«Le Bal du dodo» is the novel by Geneviève Dormann, published by Albin Michel in paperback (369 pages, in French).
Set on the island of Mauritius, the novel follows the descendants of French settlers who arrived in the 18th century to turn Île de France into a stopover on the route to the Indies. Between family chronicle and tales of sometimes incestuous love, it portrays the closed world of the Franco-Mauritians and the persistence of their rituals, such as the dance that gives the book its title.
Winner of the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie française in 1989.
